UPDATED UPDATED UPDATE: All Sold.
UPDATED UPDATE: Only one left - SATA version. Some 2.5" drives left.
UPDATE: One sold, with one 6G SAS/SATA version one one SATA-only version left. No more 8GB DIMMS available. Only 4 Mellanox cards left.
I'm selling three of my 24-bay c6100 servers - they are up on eBay now. Any STH reader buying for their own use (as opposed to company use) gets free shipping (up to $100) plus four free 72GB Seagate SAS boot drives.
The 24-bay version of the c6100 is rarer and more expensive than the 12-bay version, and is perfect for SSDs, especially if you add the LSI SAS2008 mezzanine card. Get the 12-bay version if you want cheap bulk storage, but definitely check out the 24-bay version for your database or VM server, or any system needing more than trivial disk IO.

Included items:
I have three such servers that I plan to sell, so ask if you want more than one. If you would prefer to buy without RAM, just ask - I'll subtract $10 per stick. I also have 8GB DDR3-1333 ECC sticks and Mellanox ConnectX-2 QDR/10GbE cards with firmware that supports RDMA in Windows - again just ask for a custom auction. If you want a few 72GB Seagate SAS drives added, they are $15 each. Lastly, I can upgrade all four nodes with LSI SAS2008 SAS/SATA mezzanine cards and wiring for an additional $800, which sounds like a lot but is a deal for four cards, four risers, and four cable sets.
